Caro asked the question in the comments section of her blog and I thought perhaps it deserved a title. Caro donates hers to her local hospital. And many years ago when I worked as a volunteer at my local hospital, it was how I discovered Harlequin (as it is called i n the US) It was one of the best parts about working there. The volunteer librarian would leave the door open and I would take handfuls home to read. I used to have to sneak them in as my mother never approved. (I am not so sure she approves even now...but that is her problem not mine). Certain authors rapidly became favourites and I learnt to look for forced marriages as then the level would be much hotter.
I do read a lot of fiction -- both M&B and single title. Some gets kept and others are donated to the local branch of the library. Because my local library is strapped for cash and generally as a branch library bottom of the heap in terms of new books, they welcome the donations. It also means in the years when it is a Public Lending RIght library, the books checked out do count towards authors' PLR.
So what do you do?

The Sony BMG CD copy
The Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal concerns the copy protection measures included by Sony BMG on compact discs in 2005. EX0-101 Sony BMG included the Extended Copy Protection (XCP) and MediaMax CD-3 software on 642-436 music CDs. XCP was put on 1Y0-A05 52 titles and MediaMax was put on 50 titles. This software was 350-030 automatically installed on Windows desktop compute rs when customers tried to play the CDs. 646-204
The software interferes with the normal way in which the Microsoft Windows operating system plays CDs by installing a rootkit which creates vulnerabilities for other malware to exploit. This was discovered and publicly revealed by Mark Russinovich on the Sysinternals blog. Other operating systems were not affected.
here was great excitement in
here was great excitement in the PJ household when
I heard 70-680 exam I’d been asked to blog about my book. There’s nothing an
author – well this author – likes more than ‘talking’ about one of the
books they have most enjoyed writing, and A Bride for His Majesty’s
Pleasure, is very definitely one of my favourites.
The moment I typed Ionanthe’s name I could see her
and I loved her. I knew she would be a demanding scwcd heroine. I knew she
would be idealistic, and proud and vulnerable, but most of all I knew
she would be ready to put aside her own needs for the sake of her duty. Of course
at the same time I knew that secretly she would want and long for the
very best of heroes; a prince of a man
in every sense of that word.

Feeling chuffed
Michelle, thank you for picking up my comment and giving it legs (or pages?
). I don't like seeing books go to waste and my non-M&B are given to a friend for her church's bookstall and they raise money for a nominated charity each year.
I have a patient that has lent me one or two of her old M&B and that is how I came across a fantastic book by Anne Mather - quite some years old as it was a pen and ink drawing on the cover as they used to be! I can't remember the title for the life of me but the story has stuck and I now know why she hung on to it, one day I'll track it down.
Some months I keep a book or two and re read a few times before letting them go...

Right now I have a co-walker
Right now I have a co-walker with a severely disabled son. She has scant money as she has medical bills mounting in millions of dollars, so my books are passed on to her.
I have donated to my local library and to hospitals in the past.
